Humans, unlike the animals that human keep as pets, are capable of complex speech, so I’d bet that treats would be marketed towards the humans themselves, so that the humans then push their keeper to buy those treats. Sorta like how lots of ads for toys are marketed towards kids, because advertising works better on them and then they’ll go and push their parents to buy them.
If we are separated from our parents shortly after birth, and grow up in isolation from other humans - then we would not learn to talk anyway. Note that that’s what happens with most pets that humans keep. Maybe we get to walk past some other humans in the park a couple of times a week, but that’s it.
No, I’m suggesting it’s not complex because they don’t have brains set up for it. That isn’t to say that animals don’t communicate, they do, but the concepts one can convey via their communication styles have limits

We can speak, but can our insectoid overlords understand our speech
Probably, if they hang around us and study us that often

I’m so sorry, he’s a humper. We haven’t had him castrated yet. (translated from insectoid chirping noises.)
They just like the male’s milky secretion’s taste, the annoying meat flapping noises and whistles, not so much.
This human horn isn’t working!
Are you assuming pet animal speech is not complex because you can’t understand it?
